[1] At about 4:17 pm, while on the way to Orchard Towers, Taufik missed a turn and encountered a security checkpoint that was set up along Ardmore Park.
[6][1] Ignoring multiple knocks on the car and shouts by various police officers signalling him to stop, Taufik sped through the checkpoint, crashing through concrete barriers, and was approaching the final line of concrete barriers at Anderson Road where two Gurkha police officers were stationed.
[1] Mohamed Ismail and Syahid fled on foot but were subsequently arrested at the hotel and the nearby Shangri-La Apartments.
[1] It was revealed that prior to the shooting, Mohamed Taufik was wanted by the police for having failed to turn up in court for a criminal intimidation offence.
Testimonies from the police were heard, with the Gurkha officer who shot the fatal bullet re-enacting his actions in January.
[14] State Counsel Kwek Mean Luck contended that the police did not have the time or opportunity to find out why Taufik crashed through the barriers and if they were threats to the security summit.
